Resumo

as head of the Physics Department.At Paris he had made the acquaintance of Louis Paul Cailletet in the latter's laboratory, where the liquefaction of gases, one of the major themes of 19 th century physics, determined the agenda.With the support of Olszewski, Wróblewski launched a programme of his own, with apparatus brought with him from France.Karol Olszewski was a native from Broniszow, Poland, who studied at the universities of Cracow and Heidelberg; at Heidelberg he had earned a PhD in chemistry (1872).At his alma mater, he became the assistant of the chemist Emil Czyrnianski.In this position he made the acquaintance of Wróblewski, on the latter's arrival.Czyrnianski was kind enough to allow his assistant to join forces with the newcomer, if only because of the latter's cutting edge instruments.EPN 41/4 21
